For Schools with Their Own Buses Looking To Outsource Management
Who It’s For
Schools that own and operate their bus fleet but struggle with route planning, driver coordination, or parent communication. You’ve got the buses. We bring the tools and support to make them shine.
What You Get
Technology
Our Parent App tracks buses in real-time with tap on/off alerts. The Driver App ensures daily safety checks. Your staff uses the School Dashboard for 24/7 route optimisation, reporting, and live tracking—all web-based and accessible anywhere.
Team Support
We handle parent calls and emails. Our 24/7 operational support keeps things running smoothly. A dedicated account manager tailors everything to your fleet and timetable.
Use Case
An urban independent school with 10 buses faces traffic congestion and parent complaints about delays. We optimise routes with AI, cut travel time, and give parents live updates—without you replacing a single bus.
Why It Works
Keeps your existing setup. Saves you time. Boosts safety and trust—all custom-fit to your school.
For Schools Wanting to Outsource Vehicles & Staff
Who It’s For
Schools with no buses or staff capacity to manage transport. You want a hands-off solution that covers daily runs, excursions, and sporting trips. We take the wheel—literally.
What You Get
Transport
We provide outsourced buses and drivers from our trusted network. Fully compliant, reliable, and ready for home-to-school, games, and residentials—domestic or international.
Technology
Parents get the app for tracking and alerts. Your team uses the School Dashboard to oversee it all. Drivers stay on top of safety with our app.
Team Support
We manage parent queries, offer 24/7 support, and assign a dedicated account manager to handle logistics and customise schedules.
Use Case
A rural independent school needs buses for a 50km daily commute plus weekly sports trips. We supply the fleet, sync routes with your timetable, and handle driver shortages — all while keeping costs down.
Why It Works
ero hassle. Total coverage. A turnkey solution shaped to your school’s needs.
For Schools with Their Own Team Managing Transport
Who It’s For
Schools with buses and a capable transport team but outdated systems. You want our tech to streamline operations while keeping control in-house.
What You Get
Technology
The Parent Portal and App let families book and track from any device. The Driver App ensures compliance and safety checks. The School Dashboard gives your team 24/7 access to optimise routes, run reports, and monitor live. It’s 100% web-based—use it anywhere.
Flexibility
No extra team from us. Your staff runs the show with our tools tailored to your processes.
Use Case
A mid-sized independent school has a transport coordinator but struggles with manual route planning and safety concerns. Our tech cuts admin time, flags vehicle issues, and keeps parents in the loop—all customised to their existing setup.
Why It Works
Empowers your team. Upgrades your systems. Fits your school without changing how you operate.
